Blue Tiles

Every day we walk the Bucerias beach. (Bucerias means "diver").  This Banderas Bay beach is 100 km long.

     The water is warm and the waves have a personality all of their own.  The waves change the landscape of the beach every day.  Many tourists (Sue) scour the beach for coloured glass and coloured ceramic tiles (Sue).  Coloured tiles are popular in the construction industry in Mexico, so much of the garbage from these tiles ends up in the ocean and eventually washes ashore.  Sue and Robert are collecting the tiles so that they can cover an old wooden table in their tree house apartment.  Today was "blue tile morning".  They are making a picture of the ocean with a pelican and frigate bird and need blue tiles for the water.  Blue is hard to find.  Eagle eye Sue found quite a few blue tiles today.  The waves were cooperating.

Rob, in the meantime, tried to balance rocks in the sand.

Ed and Jane, from Iowa, dropped into the tree house for an afternoon visit.  While they shared stories, a Yellow Throated Warbler stopped by ...


and so did this Brown Crested Fly Catcher. Check him out here ... http://youtu.be/XN_onxAFZOY

Note:  There was a moment today when Rob and Sue were dancing on the palapa with Liz (a substitute teacher) and Paul (an 82 year old roofer) from Gaspesie Quebec.  They spend their evenings here at the Drunken Duck, dancing up a storm.
